SAGE - BELGIAN SHEPHERD MALINOIS / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Terrier / Mixed. Meet Sage — Your 2026 Adventure Buddy Sage is a 1‑year‑old Black Mouth Curr mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She was originally adopted from us as a puppy, but life changed for her family and—through no fault of her own—she found her way back to us. Now she’s hoping her second chance is the one that sticks. This girl is every bit as fun and goofy as her photos suggest, but don’t let the silliness fool you—Sage is smart. Really smart. If you’re looking for a running partner, a future sports dog, or a companion who thrives on activity and learning, Sage might just be your perfect match. She came to us from Louisiana as a stray puppy alongside her siblings, and she’s grown into a bright, eager, energetic young dog who’s ready to take on the world. What she needs now is someone stable, patient, and excited to help her channel all that enthusiasm into something amazing. Sage has recently recovered from a medical emergency and life-saving surgery involving her intestines. She suffered from Intussusception, a serious condition where part of the intestine slides into an adjacent section, like a telescope, causing obstruction, swelling, and reduced blood flow. She is well on the mend, back to eating her normal diet from a slow feeder and normal play and activity! This could be a recurring issue in the future and would require immediate veterinary care. Will 2026 be the Year of Sage? She sure hopes so. Sage's adoption fee is $125, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful.
